So I decided to upgrade. :). Weekend project while I’m sick. Vms created, moving all data now. This is MUCH quieter than the r710.

I have an R710 and its pretty quiet.

That's what I thought too. but the R630 is even quieter! now I just have to upgrade my network switch to a fanless one, and I'll be all set.

We already have lots of colo servers at work for testing where I can run whatever I want but having some stuff on the home LAN is nice.
So I'm thinking about building something around this supermicro chassis for SOHO use:

It's roughly 10" in all dimensions. It has 4x3.5" hotswap (SAS/SATA) and two internal 2.5". Takes micro-itx sized motherboards of which Supermicro has a couple of serverboards that fits. Can't go crazy because there are thermal restrictions but that wasn't the intention either. More along the lines of a small Xeon CPU and maybe 64GB RAM or so and a couple of drives.
